Question
My daughter is 7 years old. She recently started to feel a sore throat when speaking, and her voice sounds hoarse. She also has a bit of a fever and seems listless. How should I treat my child’s sore throat and low fever?
Answer
Generally, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, it is effective to give the child some antibiotics and consider regional treatments to enhance efficacy. For children with prominent symptoms of throat pain, analgesic medication can be used. If the child has a fever, oral antipyretics can be given. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange for a child’s reasonable diet and sleep habits to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
